If there are particular tests the students wish to take, they can come in just for those tests. The students don’t have to sign up for this opportunity. He/She can just show up at the time of the practice session. It is not mandatory for the students to attend. There is no cost for this activity. The purpose is to give the students a taste of the ACT format, let them see their correct and incorrect answers, give them feedback on why the answer is what it is, and let them have a day or two to ask questions if there is still indecision on why they missed a problem. It should give them some skill revival and confidence heading into the test.

The students will have to bring a pencil. If they want to use a calculator, they may bring one to the math test. The main high school entrance will be open at 10:45 a.m. on the 6th. I will proctor the tests. The testing will be in Room 107 (Mr. Woods).

There will be an ACT practice before the other ACT dates. It might not look exactly like this because of different activities occurring in the winter/spring/summer months. This will continue throughout the 2017-2018 school year.
